Schedule? I don't even know what a schedule is anymore. I have gotten up the past couple of days to work out, which is so much better for me than later in the day, but I still can't seem to get things done like I want to. Why do we have to sleep? I know I could get so much more done if only I did not have to sleep!

Since I took a little time off from working out when I was gone for Christmas, I decided to change things up a little and focus on different workouts for this week. I LOVE Core Fusion and I really wanted to do some relaxing muscle toning. I have done that the past 3 days and I am sore in places I didn't even know I used. For those of you out there that don't want to do a lot of weights (or can't) I highly recommend Core Fusion. It is the perfect combination of strength training and stretching.

I haven't been cooking feasts here lately since we are really just going with the flow, but I knew I had to start doing something with those peanuts my grandmother sent me. The house smelled incredible yesterday with all the roasting and boiling of peanuts. I remember my grandfather boiling peanuts in a cauldron in his field when I was growing up. I cooked mine on the stove, but imagined I was in the field running around with my cousin and sister shooting BB guns and acting like crazy kids. Those were the days...

Really there was no recipe here. I took a lot of peanuts, covered them in water, added sea salt and boiled them for about 4 hours. YUM! Just like grandaddy!

Next up was roasting! Ok, so I over cooked them. Oops, but I plan to fix that by making chocolate peanut butter!

I figure that will only add to the roasted goodness. They aren't horribly over cooked, just enough to need a little sugar added to them. I roasted them for about 30 minutes, but really they only needed about 20. So, next time, I will do 350 degrees for 20 minutes. I will let you know how the chocolate peanut butter turns out.

I am hoping to get my pictures from Tony soon from Christmas. I got a ton of kitchen gadgets from my mother-in-law and I am ready to put them in action. She even gave me an old school doughnut maker! I can't tell you the last time I had a doughnut...I can't wait! Do you have a favorite doughnut? I am an old fashioned kind of gal. I love a cake doughnut with a hint of nutmeg...ok, time to make the doughnuts!

oh and about the 2011 intentions and what you told me about you and tony, that this will be your year and you're more in love now than ever...and that you got married young, same here. So happy for you guys!!!

So many peanuts! I have faith that amazing things will come from them all ;) I've never had boiled peanuts before, but I can imagine how wonderful your kitchen must have smelled!I've never been much of a doughnut girl...but I'm sure I'd take that back if I tried one of yours :P Usually I think of overly sweet glazed doughnuts, since that's about all there is aroundhere!
